The Scarlet Ibis was a story about a boy who had a brother with a disability. I enjoyed many parts of the story. When the boy was born his brother named him Doodle because he crawled backwards. Everyone thought at first that the boy was going to die except for Aunt Nicey she said “He would live because he was born in a caul and cauls were made from Jesus’s nightgown.” . Doodle did not die, instead his brother decided to make him stronger. Everyday he would take him and work with him on learning how to walk, swim, and fish. At one point in the story, Brother forced doodle to touch the coffin that he was planned to be buried in as an infant Doodle said “it’s not mine.”. It was depressing and sad to read. Brother was just trying to make him stronger
